Happy Second Trimester

[Anya1984]

Hello Girls!
Welcome to a new thread!

Anya - 20w1d
Maria - 19w5d
Eternidad - will be 20 weeks in two weeks?

Going for my big US tomorrow, very nervous, I hope everything will be great with the anatomy of the baby!
I bet it will be a boy but let's see if my "mother instinct" is right :)

Wish me luck!!!!

Maria- thanks you guys are so nice and supportive. I know everything wil be fine, now I am just keeping it cool and getting ready for spring. Going to have to buy cute maternity outfits for the summer.
LOL

Joyce- Dont stress too much. Take care of yourself. Everything will be fine.

Eternidad- That's what I thought too. Doctor must be thinking that the baby will be big by delivery time. That's alright...there will be solution then.. :) Just enjoy your pregnancy.

Anya- glad you got yourself checked is better to be safe at all times. My appoitment went well, and doc says pain my pain is normal and is r/t to round ligament go figure, she is not worry about cervix or placent bc everything looked good on u/s. I remembered one of the things the tech checked was to push down on my belly to see if the cervix opened and it did not, so I guess is a good thing.

Joyce- sorry you have to go through these tough times, but hopefullky things will start to look up for you guys.

Maria- she did not mention numbers, she just say I am measuring bigger than my gestational age. I guess it could mean my baby might be a little bit bigger at delivering time. I am not totally worried just have to wait and see.  So far everything looks well, just sometimes I WISH MY BELLY WILL NOT BE THIS BIG, people can be a little bit annoying about it, telling me that my baby is gonna come out sooner than I think but hey is life and I will have just positive thoughts about this pregnancy and think everything will come out right, it took as to long to be here.

Maria... thanks for the note of confidence... i know i will be fine, but it still hurts a little. i sent him a email because of some phone calls that he has to make... cancelling directv and such.. and when he messaged me back he was sooo mean. so i know that it was for the best. i dont think he really cared as much as he claimed he did... he just was trying to keep in a situation where someone was supporting him(financially).
i know it will be easier as the days go by... i feel better every day. and i called around yesterday to find out what the hospital procedures are to keep unwanted people OUT of the maternity ward. JUST IN CASE ... and regardless of where i go... the hospital i am scheduling my csection at OR the closer hospital in case i go into labor on my own and cant get to my hospital... they both have really great security measures for the maternity wing... so i am ok with that.
anyhow i am feeling this lil one moving all the time although last few days have been a little slow.. probably due to LACK of stress, she is probably just trying to calm down...lol
it's funny how my 6 yr old will sit and whisper secrets to the baby through my belly... but HE rarely would feel for baby kicks and would NEVER talk to baby... it is crazy. anyhow it doesnt matter anymore...lol
am i scared of doing this once again by myself... oh YES... but am i confident that i can do this... H E L L YES...lol
my kids and i have ALWAYS been happier alone than we were when i was WITH anyone... so i know it will be ok... lol

hope everyone is progressing fine, and hitting the milestones successfully
hugs and luv

Anya-Its nice that some doctors are so cautious. Its different procedure everywhere. About your trip, its good. You can travel until 7 months, that's what my doctor said. I have heard of women traveling even at 8 months. :)

Zuz-  I am glad that everything went well at your doctors appointment. They say 30-40mm is normal. So you are fine. We might go for a short weekend getaway. May be during Easter weekend.

Joyce- Everything happens for a reason. I know its difficult for you at this time to be alone. We are all here for you when you need to talk.

although i am still having a somewhat hard time with the fact that i finally put my foot down..(i may have to do a lil counseling over this) i do know it was for the best. i am so glad i have you ladies to vent to and talk to even about things like this. hope all is well with everyone and i will be off until tomorrow.

hugs and luv
